...as was His custom...

Scripture: Mark 10:1 Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds of people came to him and as was his custom, he taught them.

Observation: We see that Jesus had some "customs." In Luke 4:16, the custom mentioned is reading from the scriptures. And we know that Judas knew where to find Jesus, because it was his custom to pray, and the garden was probably a favorite prayer place of Jesus. In the verse above we see that teaching was a customary thing for Jesus to do. They called him, The Teacher. People may have come to Jesus for many reasons, but it was his priority that they left with better understanding. They would have something to think about and discuss on their trip back home.

Application: What are the customary things in my life? When people think of me, what comes first to their mind?

Prayer: Lord, with prayer and the word strong in my life, may people know that it is customary for me to do what pleases you. Amen
